ComradeKursky:

Ienclose material on theS.K.F.concession (Bogdanov has
the contract and the other material).

Youare aware of this matter.

Pleasereturn this to me with your opinion.

Youwill recall that you objected to itover the warehouse.

Couldn’twe do it this way: find the form (suitable,
convenient) fortwotransactions: under one transaction, theS.K.F.will purchasethe whole warehouse from us.
(Recognition ofourtitle: that is the essence, after all.)

Underthe other—we shall buy from them items to the
amount stated in the contract.

Asa result,wepay them this
amount.[1]Is it possible to ensure our interestsin any other way?
I doubt it.

Withcommunist greetings,Lenin
